Oil Mill construction is in full swing. Yezhi, who knows nothing about building houses, stayed put without complaint, went home, dropped the bucket, kicked Black Treasure, and took Niu Niu into the mountains.
In May, the mountains compete with ice and snow against blooming flowers. The trees at the foot of the mountain provide shade, birds sing joyfully, and wildflowers are ready to bloom; on the mountain, the white snow is majestic and magical. One cannot help but marvel at the craftsmanship of nature.
Xiao Fang emitted a probing light, searching for treasures in the mountains. Niu Niu rested on Yezhi's shoulder, turning its little head curiously to look at the forest. It is no wonder; it arrived in winter and had never experienced the springtime of Earth.
"Master, at 10 o'clock direction, 32 meters away, a Flying Dragon has been discovered!"
Yezhi quietly approached. About ten Flying Dragons were wandering through the woods foraging. Suddenly, a Flying Dragon with a completely black throat let out a sharp and crisp cry, startling Yezhi, who thought she had startled it.
"Master, a nest of baby Flying Dragons has been found 15 meters away!" Upon hearing this, Yezhi was overjoyed; it seemed she was lucky today. Perhaps she was too excited and accidentally stepped on a broken branch, causing the Flying Dragons to leap far away. If it weren't for the baby Flying Dragons still staying quietly in their nest, she would have been regretting her clumsiness.
Suddenly, her shoulder felt lighter as Niu Niu dashed after the Flying Dragons. A few electric sparks flashed by as it chased them. When they caught up, ten Flying Dragons lay unharmed in the grass.
Yezhi happily picked up Niu Niu and gave it a big kiss. Seeing this, Xiao Fang said sourly that if it hadn't discovered them first, there would be no chance for Niu Niu to show off!
"Yes~ yes! Without our Xiao Fang, how could we do it!"
Xiao Fang raised its head proudly, "That's right!" That smug look seemed very familiar (just like you! Family style!).
After tying up the stunned Flying Dragons, they followed Xiao Fang to the nest of baby Flying Dragons.
The nest of the Flying Dragons was well hidden, built beside fallen trees or roots. If one didn't look carefully, someone as careless as Yezhi would never find it. She scooped up all the baby Flying Dragons in one go; they stretched their necks and let out tender cries of surprise.
"Don't cry, don't cry; I won't hurt you!" What are you afraid of? You only weigh two taels now; you aren't enough to fill my teeth!
For five consecutive days, Yezhi wandered in the mountains, catching hundreds of Flying Dragons of all sizes; the front yard was practically overflowing with dragons. Little Fan helped feed them every day while Wolf Child, taking advantage of everyone’s distraction, smuggled a few Flying Dragons to Big Wolf for a feast. After being caught by Everyone, she felt angry, annoyed, and puzzled: all the Flying Dragons looked alike; how did they know which ones were missing? Little did she know that these were all counted; when Yezhi explained it to her, she developed a strong interest in human mathematics.
...
On Sunday, Xiao Cheng came as usual to teach Wolf Child. Wolf Child knocked down all the teaching tools prepared by Xiao Cheng, who patiently picked them up and kindly taught her phonetics.
With puffed cheeks and an unhappy expression, Wolf Child complained: it's all because of those leaves; they wouldn't let her learn math from anyone else and insisted on learning from Xiao Cheng. "This person is so annoying!"
"Math!"
Xiao Cheng was taken aback, doubting whether he was hearing things. "Wolf Child, are you talking?"
Wolf Child rolled her eyes. "Math!" Seeing Xiao Cheng still looking dazed, she gritted her teeth and added another word, "Learn, math!"
Xiao Cheng's expression brightened. "You want to learn math!" Wolf Child nodded.
"Then, but! Wolf Child, before we learn math, can we first learn phonetics?" Before Wolf Child could get angry, Xiao Cheng continued, "Once we finish phonetics, I'll teach you math right away!"
Xiao Cheng kept an eye on Wolf Child and saw her pout before sitting up straight to watch him.
Xiao Cheng's anxious heart finally relaxed.
Xiao Cheng taught earnestly while Wolf Child learned reasonably well, and time passed in the room.
"Time to eat!"
As soon as Wolf Child heard this, she could no longer sit still. Barefoot, she rushed out.
When Xiao Cheng came out after tidying up the teaching materials, he found Xiao Fan, Wolf Child, and Black Treasure crowded by the well washing their hands.
The good habit of washing hands was not only present in Xiao Fan from the city but also in Wolf Child and Black Treasure, who was clapping his wet hands... In fact, all the children at Zhoujiatun Primary School had this habit. The adults in the village were gradually paying attention to hygiene under the children's reminders; this was something he had witnessed since coming to Zhoujiatun.
Xiao Cheng turned his gaze to the woman serving the dishes. Besides being carefree and incredibly bold, she also had an air of mystery. What about Bilo's background? The advanced Three-Dimensional Planting...?
"Xiao Cheng, it's time to eat!" Yezhi casually pushed the distracted Xiao Cheng.
With a clang, Xiao Cheng sat down on the ground. Yezhi laughed gleefully while Wolf Child joined in with hearty laughter. Xiao Fan was a good child; he ran over to Xiao Cheng and tugged at his sleeve trying to pull him up. "Uncle Xiao, don't be scared! I'll help you up!" His childish voice made Aunt Zhou and Luo Fengjuan chuckle as well.
On the kang table, besides the Dragon Soup that the emperor drank, there were also small garlic bulbs dug from the mountain. Previously on TV, he often saw people from Shandong and Northeast China eating scallions dipped in sauce; in fact, dipping small garlic in egg sauce was even better! Not only did she love it, but even Wolf Child, who usually didn't like vegetables, enjoyed eating quite a bit.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Cheng initially wanted to continue teaching Wolf Child. However, Yezhi disagreed. "What else is there to teach? We've been at it all morning! Teacher Xiao, haste makes waste!"
Xiao Cheng thought about it and started packing to return to Zhou San's House. "Xiao Cheng, let's go dig for wild vegetables!" Without waiting for Xiao Cheng to agree, Black Treasure took the lead and pushed Xiao Cheng forward.
Three days later, the Bilo Oil Mill in Zhoujiatun was officially completed. Yezhi, the technician of the Oil Mill, lit firecrackers, and the sound echoed through the mountains.
Zhou Village Head brought out his treasured Lao Bai Gan. "This is the wine and cigarettes that Yezi brought back when she went to the city to study. She asked me to share, but I thought such good things shouldn't be shared easily. Besides, this amount seems a bit small!" Everyone burst into laughter. Yezhi shyly scratched her head, realizing she hadn't considered it well.
"Today, our oil mill is completed; it's a good day! Wine for the men, one sip each! The cigarettes are for the women to enjoy." Every villager wore a smile, and laughter filled the air, creating the most wonderful melody in the world. She was lost in it, unable to extricate herself.
Zhou Village Head pointed towards the forest ahead and asked, "Yezi, how about we clear a piece of land in that forest in front of the mountain to feed the flying dragons?"
Yezhi didn't nod; she felt that the forest behind the field was more suitable. "Village Uncle, it's a bit far from the village here; it's not easy to manage! What do you think about behind the field?"
Actually, Zhou Village Head had a better idea of where to raise flying dragons than she did. "That forest is low-lying and sparse with pine trees! It's not conducive for flying dragons to thrive!" An expert knows right away; just listen to how professionally Zhou Village Head spoke. She still had much to learn!
After Zhou Village Head and One Gun Brother finalized the location, they split up to get busy: One Gun Brother took his team into the mountains to catch flying dragons while Zhou Village Head led the strong men using winter fishing nets to create a habitat for them.
Once everything was ready, Yezhi donated her flying dragons from home, and Zhou Village Head gladly accepted them! In less than a month, Zhoujiatun's flying dragon breeding ground began to take shape.
